In reply to increased saliva, posted by Geno on January 10, 2002, at 19:23:03
Geno,
My first guess would be remeron. The reason I say this is personal experience from yohimbine, which like remeron, is an alpha-2 antagonist. If I take yohimbine, I feel like I'm going to drown in my own saliva and am very hungry most of the time (that's why I don't take it anymore). The alpha 2 antagonism causes a wide range cascade of events in the brain, acting on the serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine systems. I don't know which of these in particular is responsible for the salivation, though I do not suspect it to be directly related to the hunger as I usually start salivating excessively a while before I get the hunger/carb cravings on it. Also causes me to sweat some more and feel a little colder. All in all annoying.
